We're gathering together ideas from our districts about how to raise funds to support your activities. You will find these in the resources tagged by 'local fundraising', or you can click the links below to go straight to a specific activity.

Do you want to give your Woodcraft Folk group its own space on the Woodcraft website? You're in the right place!

Talk to your group about what they'd like to put on the website, and volunteer as your group's Web Manager. Ask your Group Leader to get in touch with us and we'll make sure you have a log in and support to get started.

This is said or sung by Woodcraft Folk groups at the beginning or end of their weekly meeting, and sometimes at camps and events. Members stand in a circle. A PDF of the sheet music is available below.

This depends largely on how many children attend or you are hoping will attend your group. Woodcraft groups pay for their rent out of the weekly subscriptions (subs) paid by the children so you need to make sure that the price reflects what you think you can afford.

Hi. My name is Rich. I'm from Camden district, and have been involved in Woodcraft for 3 years. I say involved; what I mean is 2 district camps full of games, cooking and campfires, and last year's ten day panoply of party, play and participation with worldwide Folk that was Cocamp.

Have you ever wanted to take an activity you're passionate about to a Woodcraft event or camp - or even to another organisation's event - to share it with others? Tents offering weird, wonderful and inspiring activities often spring up at Venturer Camp and International Camps, from the culinary to the political (and sometimes both! Venturer Camp 2010 offered political baking sessions which were really popular).

Kate loves sustainable costume-making, and shared her skills and enthusiasm for it with the Dressing Up Box at Venturer Camp. Download her story below.

Great advice and menus when camping with your group or districts. Download local cook books from the attachment below or have a look at the recently published national Woodcraft Folk recipe book, Food Food Food.

Helpful information for anyone who wants to champion young people's participation at all levels of Woodcraft Folk. Created from a weekend's training activities run by the TREE team for young people from Districts all over Woodcraft Folk.

Please share with your group and help them give young members a voice and influence at every level of Woodcraft Folk!

Well firstly, what makes a good venue? It should be somewhere nearby to where you are recruiting members from, ideally with public transport links. Preferably it should be able to be reached without having to cross busy roads, walk down dark alleyways etc. It should be in a good state of repair (i.e. no dodgy wiring etc) and accessible to those in wheelchairs. A decent-sized hall makes playing games much easier and increases the scope of the activities you can run. You can access the 'Good Venue Checklist' here.
